In today's Focus Test we will be playing QZCTF7 - Ironworks. We would greatly appreciate your feedback and assistance in testing Ironworks, a brand new CTF map.
When the event starts[1], you will see several QZCTF7 servers appear on the server listing. Your job is to play and have a good time for the duration of the event (probably an hour or so). Please report back to the forums with any impressions you have of the map, including positive and negative gameplay experiences.

i think its terrible time for us. doubt anyone can play 7am, but ill check out the map anyway
aussie focus server is up
map is heaps cool. like the other new maps, its v appealing visually. unlike the others i've seen so far though, this is a lot more normal. no weird teleporter things that take you between the bases :|
layout wise, its vaguely like cp9
but it has a VERY straight run down the middle from one flag to other flag (and by that i mean you can nearly draw a straight line), but the side entrance/exits are windy as. i dunno, might play more like cp18 :o
i said vaguely
rail in middle at top, 3 entrances from mid to base that split up even further, mh right next to flag and RA closer to entrance, one jumpad v close to flag that leads to upper exit... thats "vaguely like cp9" for me ;p
though i didnt say it would play like cp9
We had a 4v4 game on it the other night, and it plays like q3w7.
Pretty good map, glad its styled for 4v4 as well.
